Now We Know What Nokia’s CEO Really Thinks About the iPhone

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop is of course a fan of his own company’s phones, like the Lumia lineup of Windows Phones.

And now he has made it clear what he thinks of the rival iPhone from Apple.

In an interview with a Finnish TV station, Mr. Elop touted the Lumia 620 phone, which launched in January and is soon coming to Finland. When the interviewer pulls out an iPhone and asks when he can replace it, Mr. Elop says “Oh, how embarrassing.” Mr. Elop then says, “I’ll take care of that,” and jokingly chucks the iPhone to the ground.

For what it’s worth, Mr. Elop dodged questions about the higher-end Lumia 928, which is reportedly hitting the market soon.
